Cord Blood America Offers Continuing Education Course to Nurses on the Value of Cord Blood Collection

LAS VEGAS, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cord Blood America, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CBAI) (www.cordblood-america.com) is pleased to announce that it has been approved to present "The Value of Cord Blood Collection" to registered nurses in any state and offer credit hours.  Cord Blood America, Inc. is supporting the Mandatory Continuing Education Law, Act 58, by helping nurses take advantage of planned learning opportunities.  This provides nurses access to education, improving their knowledge and skills in regards to stem cells, cord blood collection, and the current and future treatable therapies.

"Lifelong learning serves as the basis for specialty certification and preparation to meet the demands of an evolving health care system with stem cells leading the future of medicine," said Cord Blood America CEO and co-founder Matthew Schissler.

"We believe strongly that the more people in the medical profession learn about the life saving potential of stem cells, a biological insurance policy, the more likely they are to make the informed decision in urging patients to store their babies' umbilical cord blood stem cells at birth," said Mr. Schissler.

"Cord Blood America went through the certification process to allow its medical executives to assist in this important part of the continuing education," Mr. Schissler said.  "We believe this helps advance the identity, integrity and continuity of the nursing profession and improves knowledge and skills in regards to stem cells, cord blood collection and future treatable therapies.  CBAI's medical staff educating thousands of nursing professionals is a scenario that we have coveted for quite some time, and one in which we will pursue and execute with vigor.  Today is a great day for CBAI."
